Although you can find oak trees in practically every region of Texas, none of them are as famous as this one in Rockport. It's believed to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old, with a trunk circumference of over 35 feet and a branch spread of 90 feet. As one of the largest oak trees in the world, it appropriately earned the title of "Texas State Champion Virginia Live Oak" in 1969, making it one of the most iconic landmarks in the state.
